Publisher and Title Clarification

Please note that some secondary sources, including reviews and academic articles (e.g., Michele Girardi in Philomusica), have reported incorrect publisher information and/or an incomplete title.

The correct title is Mozart: La caduta degli dei (translated as Mozart: The Fall of the Gods in the English edition), in two volumes, published exclusively by Youcanprint, Tricase (LE), Italy. The English edition (Mozart: The Fall of the Gods) follows the same structure and content.

Terms such as “Youcanprint Self-Publishing” or “Leipzig, Amazon Distribution” are not official publisher names. Youcanprint is the registered Italian publisher; “Leipzig” refers only to the Amazon printing facility used for certain international orders, not the publisher itself.

Note: In some early references, the title appeared simply as “La caduta degli dei”, omitting “Mozart”. This is incomplete and potentially misleading. The correct and full title is always Mozart. La caduta degli dei. Although this has since been corrected in some sources, older references or citations may still use the incorrect title.

For the record, we have officially notified the Philomusica editorial board about these inaccuracies.
